• Approved a final change order of $68,369.91 and a pay request of $335,253.74 from Pohar & Sons for work on the Cleveland Street sewer separation project.

• Tabled a decision to purchase a truckload of wood power poles, since the proposals were not quoted as requested.

• Heard the snowplow had been installed and toolboxes purchased for the street department’s new pickup truck. Authorization was given to contact Communications Direct to install the radio antenna on the truck.

• Heard different styles of LED lighting had been installed at three intersections in town. Board members were asked to state their preferences at the meeting on Tuesday.
